Seriously, how could I pass up a film called, "Manson Family Vacation"? Color me surprised when it turns out that the Duplass Brothers produced it and Jay Duplass starred in this low budget, funded by Kickstarter, film. It was great.
Nick is a lawyer. Great job. Pretty wife. 2 kids. Conrad isn't any of those things. Conrad is an artist and kind of messed up, but endearing. Conrad comes to L.A. and he convinces his brother, Nick, to tour the places where Charles Manson and the Family had been. It is only supposed to be for a day, but what an experience that was for both of them.
"Manson Family Vacation" could have been called "Manson Family Values". It was a compelling look at family dynamics and what family means. Is family something you are born with or something you choose? I loved the film for what it was, warts and all, and there were some rough parts. It was fun and irreverent and I wonder if I can score a copy for my collection.

My dad's lifelong friend told us this story, and I think about it quite often. For simplicity, let's call him John.
John worked at the prison where Charles Manson was being held. One day, John and another guard were told to move Manson (I think he was being interviewed or something). As John was taking Manson down a hallway, he stopped dead in his tracks near a receptionist's desk. Manson looked at the receptionist, who John had never seen before, and Manson turned back to John and said, "She's the one." John was wildly creeped out, and told him to keep walking.
One thing led to another, and John and that receptionist got married. She was the one.
I see a lot of videos about people calling Charles Manson some crazy dude, pure evil, whatever. But that story has always stuck with me, because there is no way that some random crazy dude would have been able to 'predict' that (what are the odds some dude would randomly say that, and then it actually happens years later?) Manson was really something else.
EDIT: I'm not in any way supporting what he did. Nothing makes his crimes okay. It's just creepy. It was a creepy encounter, that's why I posted it here. Wheaton's Law, y'all.
My wife (32) is the oldest of 9. 3 of her siblings are biological and 5 are step. Her mom died when she was 12 and her dad couldn't afford a babysitter so she had to take care of her younger siblings. Then when she was 22, her dad married a woman with 5 kids and all of the older kids, including my wife, got roped into babysitting. She said she never had a problem with it and that her dad and, later, stepmom never made her miss any events as long as she let them know in advance. While she swears that she never had a problem taking care of her siblings, she always feels like she has to take care of them.
A few months ago, her youngest bio sister (26) lost her job while pregnant. Then the baby came premature and died at 2 weeks old, then her fiance cheated on her and she had to move in with their dad. Her dad and stepmom couldn't pay for her therapy so my wife is paying for her therapy and meds and takes her out a couple times a month. The only thing that annoys me is that I play soccer on Thursday nights and she stays home with the kids (10 mo and 3 yrs) but she occasionally takes her sister out on Thursday nights and we have to pay their nanny extra to stay late.
Her youngest stepsister (12) has health issues and has been in and out of the hospital over the past 6 months. Their mom took family medical leave and took care of her for the first 4 months but she started to get burned out and her medical leave ended, so all of the siblings have been taking shifts staying with her. My wife works from home and is able to work from the hospital/her dad's house so it's not like she's using all of her vacation time to take care of her stepsister but she used to interact with our kids during the day and she doesn't do that very often now because she's spending up to 4 days a week either taking care of her stepsister, taking her other stepsiblings (13 and 15) out so they don't feel overlooked, or getting her new room ready (her parents renovated their house and added a downstairs bedroom because her stepsister has a hard time getting up and down stairs).
We've gotten into a few arguments because I've said that her family relies on her too much and that they need to respect that she has her own family now.
Her dad, stepmom, her youngest sister, and some of her stepsiblings are going on a ski trip and her dad offered for us to go but I said I don't want us to go. She asked why and I said that with how much time and attention she's been giving to her siblings/stepsi

This happened the summer of when I was 14. So 2004. EMB was griping about wanting to get out of the city and do something fun. She wanted to go to the beach. My dad finally decided it was time to take a leave from work for a week and go to the beach. He wanted to drive. But EMB wanted to fly. And she went ahead and bought plane tickets for the trip. When my dad finally got a look at the tickets, he noticed there wasn't one for me. EMB played it off and said she must have lost it. Dad said he'd make a call to the airline if they couldn't find my ticket. That's when EMB started doing that thing Karens do when they just want you to blindly take their word on something fishy.
So my dad grilled her until she admitted to only buying three tickets. And she used his credit card to buy them. He was pretty livid. And EMB started making excuses that I wasn't a little kid anymore, and that I didn't need to go. My dad having had enough of her shit called the airline and canceled the trip. Then told EMB that if she wanted to go so bad, then next time invite me or pay for the trip herself. EMB cried and called my dad financially controlling. But he turned that on her and said that she couldn't have a family vacation without me if she was using his money to pay for it. Then asked what her plan was when it was time to go? Was she just gonna try to leave me home last minute or pretend to have lost the ticket at the airport. EMB didn't have an answer. So she just walked away and did her usual of getting drunk on the patio.
Instead of flying to the beach my dad packed us all in his car and we drove south to the nearest beach. I ended up having a great time. My sister did too. But EMB spent half the trip looking like she was sucking on a lemon because she didn't get her way. But that was fine with me because she avoided even speaking to me almost the entire time.
if anyone's heard this "demo" you've noticed the songs are slower, i want to know if this was done on purpose or if it's a side effect from the tape's speed. If someone's got any idea please answer!
So we drove back home
I think if dennis still lived there when it happened. He would of whooped there asses like brad pitt did in once upon a time in hollywood
Dennis was a wild guy. Apparently he beated the shit out of manson cause he threatened him
Change this Gregghead’s mind
I (25F) have been with Ben* (32M) for 7 years.
Recently international travel was made available, so Ben took the opportunity to visit his family who he hadn't seen in 2 or 3 years. The visit was a surprise for his whole family, and he only booked a return ticket once he arrived in the country because originally no flights were available.
Unfortunately, after a week, he got covid and spent 2 weeks indoors, not able to visit his sister. He ended up buying a return ticket but the arrival date was for 3 days after my tonsillectomy (he knew the date before leaving). He said flights prior to were double the price and he couldn't afford it and so he had to book something late January.
I'm editing this bit to help with confusion.
-
he had no other choice but to book the flight 3 days after my surgery. The frustrated me because I don't have any other option (please stop suggesting I call a friend, I don't have the option). I am required to provide the hospital with details pf a carer for the first 24 hours. But i am NOT upset with him. It's beyond his control. I am NOT asking him to change his flight and pay lots of money to arrive earlier. If it seems like I am, it's because people kept suggesting a taxi, or a friend, or family, and I was replying to those comments. But I am not mad at him nor did I ask him to change this flight
-
he then (idk, a week or so later) asked me if I was OK with him extending his stay for another week. He had planned to spend the whole 4 or so weeks at his sisters house, but due to covid only spent 2 weeks with her. Those two weeks she spent it working because she didn't know of his arrival and so couldn't take time off.
It would work out that he would arrive on day 13 post surgery. I asked him not to extend his stay because I would need the support after the surgery, even if I was passed the first few days.
*rest of original post
I do feel like maybe he is right? He should be able to see his family, and it isn't his fault he got sick. After all, I'm a grown adult and I could find someone else to helping? I guess it isn't really his job to care for me.
Was I TA for asking him to leave his vacation so he could care for me after I get my tonsils out?
Edit: whoa! I'm NOT asking him to change his flight!!!! His flight is booked for a few days after my surgery and I am NOT asking him to change it.
**He was simply able to change his flight to leave a week later, and asked to do that. All I asked was that he keep the origina

I never thought I would ever say the words in the title. But I did a few nights ago when I was talking to a neighbor about Roman Polanski, acclaimed director, and rapist of a 13 year old child. It started when we were talking about extradition and people hiding out from the law in other countries. I brought up Polanski, who has been on the lam for decades now. I went to the wiki to get some specifics, and discovered that our old friend Robert Evans worked on Rosemary's Baby with Polanski. Not that that is incredibly relevant, except perhaps to this sub.
I also learned that Polanski was in Poland at the time the Nazis invaded, and being a Jew, spent the entire time hiding out under a false identity with some people who took him in. His parents apparently were not so lucky. Genuine RIP for them.
I did know that he was married to Sharon Tate in the 60s, and that through luck he was not at home when the Manson Family broke in and murdered her and everyone else there.
Twice this rapist escaped the reaper. Which prompted me to exclaim "Both the Nazis and the Mansons failed me!"
Fuck that guy.
So, we went on a two week vacation with my extended family to Dubai. The majority of my aunts/uncles/cousins came from my mum’s side. I only agreed to go because my parents and sister’s family were all going to be there and we hadn’t seen each other in a long time.
My husband is the type of person who wakes up ridiculously early so he can workout no matter where we are. While we were on vacation some of my female cousins found out he was going to the gym at 6am and they started waking up early and going there just to watch him workout. I only found out because my BIL told my sister, who told me. I wanted to see for myself so I asked my husband if I could workout with him the next day and it turned out to be true.
My husband tends to be in his own world when he exercises and so he never noticed. I pointed it out to him but he just made a joke about it. I asked him if he could stop working out for the rest of the vacation as it was making me uncomfortable. He got upset and we had an argument about it but he did eventually reluctantly agree but he made it clear he was only doing it for me and that he wasn’t happy about it.
AITA?
